We will give it a few days, or maybe a week, to see if there are more takers,
and to give folks a chance to either locate or purchase the print book if they
want. I personally would rather read the print version, but I guess it makes the
most sense to refer to the online version.

Also I'll need a few days to figure out how best to organize my little
mini-course. Anyone should feel free to offer suggestions. Basically I think I
would just put up a summary of the lecture and throw out the points that
interest me, and others could do the same, but I will try to manage the
conversation in terms of the post headings, and perhaps after we're done with
each lecture I can re-post the discussion in edited form (not that I would edit
others' comments, just put them in order and reformat etc.)

I think one lecture per week is best, but am open to all suggestions.

I urge newcomers to join, or Waldorf parents who would like to know what goes on
in Steiner faculty meetings. This is *not* a dense read, it is very lively and
fun. It requires no previous background in anthroposophy. In no time you will be
discoursing on the seven-fold human and the nine-fold human, ancient Atlantis,
the human being in Devachan, and our future lives on Venus and Jupiter.

I will throw this out to whet your appetite. The introduction explains that
Rosicrucianism is the spiritual "stream" personified by Christian Rosenkreuz, a
"lofty" spiritual being who "incarnated" in the 15th century. This
individuality, he explains, incarnated "again and again in the same body." He
assures us that the meaning of this mysterious image will become clear later. I
personally have no idea what the meaning of this might be. I've read this book
at least twice, but I don't remember (normally, of course, one reincarnates in
*different* bodies!!).

... Stay tuned!
